What is a Support Coordinator?
A support coordinator is someone who can assist you on your NDIS journey.
Our Support Coordinators will work alongside you to ensure that you get the most out of your NDIS plan. We listen and help you understand how to implement your plan in a way that meets your needs and desires and link you to informal, mainstream & community support that will be the right fit. We also help build your ability to exercise choice and control, to coordinate support and access your local community. Our Support Coordinators will focus on building skills which includes working with you to find and connect to mainstream services such as employment, government departments, social supports and advocacy.
If you’re into sport, art, music, exercise, volunteering, knitting, fishing, photography or anything else our Support Coordinators will help you find the most appropriate service.
Our Support Coordinators will assist with:
- Building your confidence and your support network

Step 1
Our Support Coordinators work alongside you to understand your needs and desires and identify your goals so we can build the best support plan for you.

Our Support Coordinators contact a range of appropriate service providers to gauge their availability, discuss your options and arrange a meeting for you to meet with them to allow you to make the right choice. This allows you to have control of your support, and organise agreements, services and prices to ensure that you are getting the most out of your budget.

What others are saying
“Before I started talking to Helen I was in a very dark place, I had no motivation to do anything, I was constantly putting myself down and doubting myself in every way possible. Helen has helped me in so many ways.
Assisted in making my doctors appointments, helping me with my strategies when I started to feel down again and making sure I was on track with my mental health care plan while still being there for me every step of the way. She has been an incredible support to get me to better myself and be in a much happier place.
I do not know where I would be today if it wasn’t for Helen’s constant help and support over the last year! I am so grateful to have had Helen by my side and I could not be more thankful for everything she has done for me.”

“I am a Social Worker and started working with Helen In 2017. She was my Team Leader and I was employed as a Support Facilitator. Helen taught me all about the National Disability Scheme (NDIS) and the role of Support Coordination. Helen was an excellent supervisor who showed great compassion for people with any type of needs for their wellbeing. I am privileged to have worked with her.”
